Recipient of Outstanding International Major Entrance Scholarship and Outstanding International Student Award
Suprita Anand is in the BKin program planning to pursue neuro-mechanical and physiological sciences. She aspires to be a “sports physiotherapist to help athletes and active people recover from their injuries so they can live their life to the fullest.” Suprita decided to study kinesiology when she encountered a physiotherapist who helped her sister recover from a serious Colles fracture. “She opened my eyes to the body’s endless capacity to heal,” states Suprita.
Suprita is the recipient of the ‘Outstanding International Major Entrance Scholarship’ and ‘Outstanding International Student Award for 2020.’ In order to achieve these awards, students must demonstrate strong academic achievement, engagement in the School, and the potential to make a scholarly contribution within their chosen field of study.
When asked how she feels about her KIN achievements, Suprita responds “I was extremely thrilled. I owe it to my teachers who guided, moulded and encouraged me to take the opportunities that came my way and share my experiential learnings with others. Living in different countries has helped me to be resilient, appreciate cultural diversity, adapt to various situations and build positive and trustful relationships.”
Suprita has indeed shared her experience with others. She has embarked on a journey of service to the community through volunteering in such places as Singapore, where she taught science to children; Jaipur, India where she taught young students the importance of education; and Ladakh, India, where she volunteered with a hospital to provide free dental and eye checks for the local community.
Suprita continues to be committed to contributing to the community in which she is currently living. She plays badminton, soccer and basketball competitively, and is “looking forward to playing a more significant role within the KIN sporting community.”
